Yeah I get it. It’s some half ass plan to get Emma back on track and he didn’t really put any thought into it because he’s just thinking “oh crap oh crap I messed up” instead of taking a moment and realizing “oh crap, I’m messing up EVEN MORE.”
I don’t just dislike him because of what he did in Portland. But also how he acted when he arrived in SB. Knowing what happened in Portland, he comes into SB so.. full of himself and sure of everything and even demeans Emma in a certain way. I don’t like his attitude knowing he had found her before.
